Even when the ground is covered in snow, there is still so much to explore in High Park during the winter season! We still have space in some of our Nature clubs for kids. ❄️⛄️ .
Maybe you have a busy toddler that is curious about nature, or an active 10 year old that loves spending time outside? Our Nature Clubs are perfect for the young naturalist in your family! .

The Wadden Sea on the southwestern coast of Denmark. Flood lands that have more microbio diversity in its soils than the Amazon. Those who live near the sea know it will rise again someday, as it has in the past, to devour their homes and make them part of the marshlands. Adding to the pride in earthen build houses and thatched roofs. New buildings are not to be found.
This place is a classroom, would you come here to study it? ...did I mention the white eagles? 2+ meter wingspan...

Have you ever been so engaged in your job and enjoying it so much that you lose yourself in the moment and forget everything? (Including taking pictures) hence the blank post
That blissful feeling is what happens to me every time I’m in nature with kids and guiding their exploration.
It’s a feeling so rich you forget who you are, where you come from, what your skin color is, and any responsibility that’s been pressing in on you.
Today and everyday I wish for passion to come alive and for every person to experience that feeling of JOY that comes with being who you were made to BE. •

Something very exciting has occurred... I am so proud to have been handed the position of Artist in Residence for @forestschooling during 2019. This is a wonderful opportunity in more ways than I can convey here. Not only will it combine my background in education, policy and science with my artistic path, but being able to work outdoors with the amazing kids and learn from Stephen Simpson and colleagues will be very inspiring. This forest school works predominately with young people that often struggle in a traditional classroom environment and hugely benefit from spending time in the greenery, learning lots of new skills, having a big shout or a moment of quiet, self-starting practical projects or simply brewing a tea on the fire. This is a recent picture I made after spending an autumnal afternoon with a key stage 2 group.
Thanks for having me guys... watch this space everyone!

Skating on natural ice is great fun - and safe if you have the right gear (ice picks, ice poles, rescue line, backpack and a full change of clothes packed waterproof) and enough knowledge on ice and ice rescue. Also remember, #neverskatealone - it’s more fun in good company anyways! Photos from the first skating trip with my school.

Quite a crowd got #crafty with natural materials at Saturday's Holiday Kid's Maker Craft Time at #lancastercountyparks . More than 30 people freely exploted and created with materials collected from all over the park!
